ING men in Washington society for half
a century. His is the sunny tempera-

The Major could neve be very

Washington life every phase reminds
him of half a dozen amusing anecdotes.
He has Il rare gift in telling a

his fame as a writer, but is Of so unique

New YORK, July 9.-The following
letter will be read in all Roman Catholic
churches in this city tomorrow by in

gan to night:
To the Very Rererend Clergy and
Faithful LditV Of the Arch Diocese
Be 1t known that on the 4th day of May,
1887, the sacred congregation of the prop
uganda a1monished Rev. DIR. Edward
McGlynn, late rector of st. Stephens
church, of this city, that he
had already rendered himself La
BILE to ecclesiastical censure by
d%isobeying the positive command of
the sovereign pontiff, given January H..
" fishing, however, to deal leniently with
him, the sacred congregation refrained
from issuing censure and offered him fur
Their opportunity to be heard in his W
behalf, and gave him a final pre-emptory
order to present himself at Rome within
forty days from the receipt of the letter
containing such order, under pain of ex-
communication to be incurred ipSO factO
ct R~OnliRdtHDt.
This letter was duly delivered to Rev.
DIR. McGlynn, and as he allowed the days
of grace to pass unheeded, it became our
sad duty to notify him that he had in
CURED by his own act this penalty of ex-
communication, by name, whereby he is
cut off from the communion of the church,
from its sacraments and participation in
Its prayers, and should he persevere in his
contumacy, to be deprived of the right,
after death, to Christian burial.
1t becomes, also, our duty to declare to
the clergy and laity of our charge, which
we do by these letters, that DR., McGlynn
is communicated, with all penalties at
tached to this censure by the canons of the
church.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, July 9.-The death
sentence of H. j. O'Dounell, of Silver
City, and that of Jasper Thomson, of
Socorro, were to day committed by Gov
ernor Ross to Imprisonment for life in the
~penitentiary at hard labor.
CHICAGO, July "a special from
Chattanooga. Tenn, says: VIM. Holman
was to have been executed yesterday at
Dalton. Ga, for the murder of Matilda
Holman, last December, but Governor
Gordon committed his sentence to impris-
onment for life. Five thousand people
assembled to witness the hanging, and on
learning the action of the governor they
took possession of the town and hanged
the governor in efigy on the gallows pre-
pared for Holman. The latest reports
state that the militia has been ordered to
hold themselves in readiness to march
against the mob if a riot occurs. Dalton
is at the mercy of the mob and civil officers
are powerless to quiet the disturbance.

Not Regarded as True.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The charges
against x-Collector Beecher, published
in this mornings dispatches from San
Francisco, are regarded at the treasury
department as an old story. They were
investigated many months ago and dis,
missed. That the department does not
consider Beecher guilty of frauds upon
the revenue is evident by the fact that he
is now employed as special agent in the
same district over which he formerly had
charge as collector. In speaking of the
case to-day, Secretary Fairchild said it
was 80 old he had almost forgotten it.

Cruelty at Eyictions.

DUBLIN, July 9.-In the evictions at
Coolgranery. County Wexford, 10 day, a
man named Darcy and three daughters
made such a stubborn defense in their
house against the bailiffs who attempted
to eject them that the officers in anger
attacked the girls and badly injured one
of them on the head. Three bailiffs will
be arrested and charged with assault for
this. In the next house the tenan and
his wife made considerable resistance but
were put out and arrested for scalding the
police with hot water.
